And Goki, in his eyes, had become a black afterimage.
"Subject 1, you fool, hurry and protect me!"
Loken panicked, just about to call the test subject for help, but the next second, he saw a face full of killing intent, also with a smile, pressed close to his own.
"Rosmontis."
"Wh—"
"I said, her name is Rosmontis, you idiot—I was wrong to think you were the same kind of person as the Director. I should apologize to her."
Splat.
"Loken Williams, on behalf of the Cat-Eared Girl Protection Association, I sentence you to death."
Accompanying the cold pronouncement, without any obstruction, the Hunter's Cane accurately pierced Loken Williams's heart.
Although he wasn't a Crow Hunter, Goki was equally skilled at execution.
Just over fifty seconds had passed since Goki made his harsh threat. Goki ensured that this Genius's clever brain could no longer harm the world.
Furthermore, Loken didn't drop anything. Although he was a madman, at least this project was completely unrelated to the Great One, so there was naturally no madman's knowledge.
However, though Loken was dead, the four giant hands did not cease. The small cat in the chamber—Rosmontis's expression—remained pained even after Loken's death.
Goki snatched the remote control and pressed the stop button directly, but the previous excessive stimulation seemed to have made Rosmontis completely lose control. The giant hands formed by Originium Arts shattered Goki's flame Clone and directly squeezed towards Goki.
"Goki!"
Skadi intended to go help, but Goki waved her off.
"Rosmontis... is more than just a name."
As he spoke, a... metal pesticide sprayer appeared in Goki's hand?
[Rosmontis
A weapon used by high-ranking members of the Healing Church, the Choir.
Using mercury bullets filled with blood as a medium, it sprays a large amount of Holy Dew. Wherever the Holy Dew is seen, the melodious holy song can be heard, thus showing that the Holy Dew is a blessing from heaven.
Oh, beautiful maiden, why do you weep?]
After obtaining the "Eye of the Cosmos Badge," Goki spent three thousand blood echoes to exchange for this weapon, which looked like a flamethrower.
The so-called Holy Dew was actually just arcane-attributed water mist. As for whether it was mixed with the ashes of some Saint or steeped with the Daughter of the Cosmos's squid tentacles, Goki didn't particularly want to investigate.
To be honest, Goki hadn't used this weapon much. Arcane items had very few opportunities to appear, and this pesticide sprayer-like device appeared even less often.
However, for the current situation, this weapon was quite suitable.
Using Rosmontis to save Rosmontis, how romantic.
Hiss—
The shimmering mist carrying arcane energy spread out. Rosmontis's arcane power permeated around Goki, filling the entire space with the power of the starry sky, and the four giant hands began to become confused, oblivious to Goki hidden within them.
Thus, Goki left the Hunter's Cane on the slowly dying Loken and switched to the sharp Hunter's Axe.
Bang — — — —
The next second, the blade of the Hunter's Axe shattered the thick bulletproof glass, and Goki directly reached out to block the glass shards, ignoring his arm being cut by them. From the liquid, he pulled the small Feline into his arms, tearing off the electrodes used to control her.
"Ugh..."
The small Feline's ears twitched, her expression still terrified. Two invisible giant hands even abandoned Skadi and directly attacked Goki.
"Don't worry, I'm here to help you and everyone. There's no need to be afraid anymore... Rosmontis."
Meeting the small cat's eyes, Goki looked at her slowly opening light green eyes and showed a kind smile.
The four giant hands thus stopped in mid-air.
"You, are you... calling my name?"
Feeling Goki's firm and strong arms, the Feline girl was somewhat bewildered and confused, completely unsure of the situation.
She had indeed been hoping for someone to rescue her from this suffering, but was it coming true a little too quickly?
"Yes, do you not like this name?"
Goki smiled as he looked at this small Feline girl. Accustomed to carrying Skadi, occasionally holding an eight-year-old small cat, Goki barely felt her weight.
"No, I, it's very nice, but I don't know what it means..."
Rosmontis quickly shook her head, cautiously leaning into Goki's embrace, not daring to move, as if afraid Goki would abandon her.
From these subtle movements, it was clear what kind of treatment this small cat had endured.
This was not a problem Goki could solve with a few words; only time and companionship could help her become cheerful again.
Fortunately, Goki arrived much earlier than in the original story.
"Rosmontis, it's a beautiful little flower, and also the name of my weapon—don't rush, we have plenty of time."
Thus, Goki completed the last remaining task in Columbia.
However, as he left, Goki's peripheral vision caught sight of a freshly written letter on Loken Williams's experimental table.
"To—the Archbishop of the Unification Sect?"
Seeing the recipient, Goki raised an eyebrow.
"I remember Kaltsit's book mentioned this ancient religion, it seems to be... one of Kazimierz's former Gods People beliefs."
Goki seemed to have... discovered an interesting clue.
